Chapter 107: Shaolin Monk (Second Watch)
Li Zicheng had a total of 22 generals under his command, which was an important pillar of Li Zicheng's group, among which Liu Zongmin's Zhongjun camp represented the highest force of the Dashun army.
Even Liu Zongmin was planted, and Li Zicheng only had to drive in person.
At this time, the scouts of the Dashun army came to report, "Report to Your Majesty the King, Li Yan, the right army division, has returned."
"Is the Shaolin monk here?" Bull Venus Road.
"Back to the prime minister, here, one big and one small, a total of three monks came."
Li Zicheng was a little discouraged when he heard this, and he hoped that the Shaolin monks could come one hundred and eighty, at least twenty or thirty people.
The two owners of Lujiazhuang, and the helmsman of the beggar gang, these martial arts masters are not successful, what problems can the three monks solve?
Li Zicheng was a little disappointed.
Niu Jinxing saw it and hurriedly comforted, "Lord, the Shaolin faction is the orthodoxy of martial arts in the world, looking at the rivers and lakes, now Shaolin Wudang is the leader of the decency, although the Shaolin monks are few, but they represent the Shaolin faction, let alone three, one will become, if we can encircle the Shaolin faction, we can call on the world's martial arts to jointly crusade against the faint king."
Song Xiance also echoed, "What the prime minister said is true, the Shaolin monks are all with peerless martial arts, and the soldiers are fine but not many."
Li Zicheng was overjoyed, "Hurry up and invite the right military division and the Shaolin monks to come in."
The three brothers of Li Yan traveled day and night, from the capital to the Shaolin General Hospital in Songshan, Henan, and spent a total of eight days to send the black and white impermanent corpse to the Shaolin Temple, explain the process and intentions, and invite the Shaolin monks to the capital.
Let Li Nian and Li Mu wait outside, and the three monks can't all go in, after all, they want to see Li Zicheng, the king of Dashun.
The two little monks also stayed outside with their luggage and waited, and only Li Yan and a big monk entered to see them.
Li Yan saw Li Zicheng and introduced them to both parties, and Li Zicheng knew that the great monk's name was empty, and he was the Zen master of the Luohan Hall of Shaolin Temple.
"Haha, the master is exempt from the courtesy, and the seat is given." Li Zicheng got up from his seat with a smile to show his warm courtesy, and someone moved the chair and sat down.
Niu Jinxing added oil and vinegar to tell the situation in the capital in the past few days, and Li Yan was secretly taken aback.
In the past few days since he left the capital, there has been such a big change, Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi were captured by Chongzhen, and even Liu Zongmin lost the battle, his life and death are unknown, and King Chuang plans to go out in person.
It seems that we have all underestimated the strength of the Daming Palace, which is the palace of the Emperor of the Sun Curtain in the land of projectiles, which is clearly the land of the hidden dragon and the Crouching Tiger.
Especially when Li Yan left, the people of the capital were peaceful and welcomed the generals of the Dashun army.
But when he returned, the situation in the capital had completely changed in just a few days.
The old gentry and some ordinary people were hostile to the Dashun army, and some even secretly threw shoes and stones at their backs.
With such a drastic change in people's hearts, Li Yanyan was worried.
Finally, Niu Jinxing said: "I hope that the Shaolin monks will seek justice for the two Shaolin lay disciples, and at the same time, explore the whereabouts of the two generals Liu Zongmin and Yuan Zongdi and Hao Shaoqi, and help each other when it is convenient.
Niu Venus began to draw a big pie with the empty monk. If you want to win over the Shaolin faction to join the Dashun Army, you have to start with him first.
"Amitabha," the empty palms were closed again, and the fat flesh on his face was expressionless, "The prime minister's words are different, the little monk was ordered by the abbot to go down the mountain this time just to find out the matter of the two lay disciples of black and white impermanence, as for the rights and wrongs of your army and the Ming army, please forgive the little monk for not being able to get involved."
Winning over, Niu Jinxing felt that he had lost face and laughed dryly.
Monks only recite scriptures and practice martial arts, and do not want to care about their contention, which is the duty of monks.
Song Xiance took the words, "The monks are merciful, don't ask about Hongchen, the monk is admired by Song Mou, but killing the wicked is also a good thought, the faint monarch Chongzhen for the sake of the country, indiscriminately killing innocents, even colluded with the cult and the world's martial arts as the enemy, Shaolin is the leader of the world's martial arts, can the monks tolerate the faint monarch's evil demons?"
Li Yan also said: "Master, from the Ming Dynasty to the present, there are thousands of holes, white bones are everywhere, the people are suffering from hanging upside down, and the common people are struggling in the water and fire. When my family broke into the king of Shuntian, he responded to the will of the people, prospered the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, and cut down the king of the unreasonable. Now the Ming Dynasty is like a lamp at the tuyere, it is already the twilight of the western mountains, and I ask the master to uphold justice and do more things that are in line with the heavens and people."
"Okay, listen to the advice of people to eat a full meal, since the little monk is in your Dashun military camp, and there is Li Gongzi's trust, Li Gongzi is kind to Shaolin, look at the golden face of the son, the little monk will ask about the whereabouts of Hou Ye and the two generals when he enters the palace this time, as for the rest, please forgive the little monk for not being able to do anything. Amitabha, good, good."
"Then there's Master Law." Li Yan was overjoyed. Master Likong gave him face, and Li Yan was flattered.
Li Zicheng ordered people to prepare accommodation for the three monks, vacated two houses, ordered people to arrange fasting meals, thanked them and said that they would enter the palace tomorrow, and then withdrew.
"Prime Minister, two military advisors, Shaolin monks are reluctant to kill, and they don't want to get too involved in temple disputes, can we count on it?"
Li Zicheng was not happy in his heart, and the empty Zen master made it clear that people only came for the two Shaolin lay disciples, and they didn't say that they would avenge the impermanence of black and white, but they were just ordered by the abbot to investigate the truth, and we bet the treasure on the Shaolin faction, is this appropriate?
